It has kept at least one of my colleagues from trying out Sherpa which I had otherwise recommended him.<br />Emil Rivera-Thorsenhttp://lusepuster.posterous.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023557879394463438.post-16073820909814563962012-08-17T18:22:30.837-04:002012-08-17T18:22:30.837-04:00I'd really like try out some of the new functi...I'd really like try out some of the new functionality of Sherpa 4.4.1 but see there are no updated Ubuntu packages available yet . Will any be made in the near future ? The previous Ubuntu debs were an excellent way to install the s/w.<br /><br />While I don't mind attempting to build sherpa standalone, I know from experience it is a painful process at times, and is impossible to do so without dropping region library support, which is also useful to have. Is anyone looking into separating out the region library from ciao so it can be shipped with sherpa ? (I really don't want to install all of ciao just for the region library and a fully functioning sherpa!)Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023557879394463438.post-70497650650602163172012-08-14T08:57:20.459-04:002012-08-14T08:57:20.459-04:00I think it's great that you put up the Sherpa ...I think it's great that you put up the Sherpa sources at https://github.com/cxcdev/sherpa .<br /><br />Unfortunately I get a build error (on Mac OS X Lion with clang):<br />https://gist.github.com/3349048<br /><br />I suppose I should use gcc instead and give more compile options.<br />The existing install notes seem to be a bit outdated when it comes to Mac:<br />http://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/contrib/sherpa/#platforms<br />http://www.astropython.org/tutorial/2010/1/Installing-Sherpa-standalone-for-X-ray-analysis<br /><br />Is the CXC helpdesk the proper place to report issues and install questions for standalone Sherpa or could you consider github issues or a google group?<br />Christophhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06487679067926214837noreply@blogger.com
